A.N: I don't know, where Giles has his private books, but in my story he will store them in some kind of office in the Magic Box. And I also have to admit, that I don't really know what the Watchers Diary or the Watchers Chronicles (Is that their name?) are about, but I think they deal with the past of the Council, the Slayers and the Watcher etc. But this is AU, so everything I write is ok g. Everything I use from this books, like quotations or explanations, are from my imagination, so it doesn't really matter what the real texts are about. They will just help to develop the plot.

And then I have nearly all my information about the seasons around that deal with Glory from fan fictions, which were mostly in English (did I mention, that I am German?) therefore it can happen, that same facts or names are wrong. If you notice a mistake, please tell me, so that I can correct it.

Chapter two

An attentive observer, who happened to be around the Sunnydale bus station, could have seen a dark haired young girl who stepped into a bus to LA on a late summer evening. Perhaps the observer would have asked himself why she is all by her own. Or he would have thought, like many inhabitants of Sunnydale, that she would make a delicious meal. But nobody saw Dawn Summery stepping into the bus und therefore her disappearance was noticed only on the next day.

But back to Dawn. She had already some day before bought a ticket, packed her things and written the letter to her sister. Her intention was organized very well. Because nothing might go wrong; it was just too important. She sat down at the back of the bus and saw out of the window down on the street. The bus driver announced that trip would start now and Dawn got lost in her thoughts. She thought of the day everything began.

One morning she had woken up soaked in sweat and could remember her nightmare only vague. She couldn't say what it was about only that she had the feeling she lost something very important. This feeling stayed the whole day. In the following night she again woke up from a dream and could remember fragments. This dream pursued her the following nights and after a certain time she was able to tell what it was about. In her dream she fought against a beautiful blond woman and they both were dressed in old fashion. She didn't notice much of her surroundings but they seemed to be in a large and mostly empty room with big windows in a gothic style. She herself fought with a sword, but the women only used her fists. Dawn couldn't remember the whole dream; every night was like a new piece to a big puzzle. But this few details and Anyas help were enough to find out at least some things. For example she knew now that the sword was a katana, a weapon from Japan. The women had looked it up in some books of the Magic Box and found a picture of a katana which looked like the one from Dawns dream. And Anya concluded from Dawns description that the fight took place in some kind of church. Butt the most important memory was the one of the end of the fight and the reason for Dawns trust to Anya. Dawn lay on the floor and seemed to be injured. Her opponent had disappeared, but for her another person showed up. More precisely it was a demon. The vengance demon Anyanka

Anya herself couldn't remember this situation. How could she, it was just Dawns fantasy. The Key was only a few years old and every memory of days before that were fake. They both developed some theories but later give them all up. When Dawn mentioned the first time, that the women had been blond, Anya thought of Glory. Could this dream be some kind of alternative ending? But Dawn threw in that the women of her dream had no other similarity to Glory. Then they thought it could be a vision. But the surrounding and the clothes were old fashioned and dawn had had an old weapon and that made them conclude that the fight took place in the past. There was just one question: whose past?

To answer this, Anya suggested asking some of her old friends while Dawn should search secretly in Giles books. That was more difficult than it had sounded, because the Ex-Librarian had always an eye on his and the books from the Magic Box so that nobody could damage them. Or so that nobody who wasn't allowed, like an under aged Dawn could read them. Butt he girl didn't give up and when finally Giles was occupied with some customers, she took the chance and put some books, which she had seen while going threw the shelves and that looked promising, into her bag. The books deal with the past of the Watcher Council or were Chronicles of past Slayers. But the most important and most interesting ones were out of reach: The Watchers Diaries. If there was a source about all demonic or magical occurrences in the past, then it was them. But because it seems that she wouldn't get the chance to even get a glance at them Dawn decided to wait for a better chance and read the other books first. She made her way to Anya and Xanders apartment in order to show her ally the loot.

When she arrived there, the ex-demon already waited for her. Anya admitted that she wasn't able to find any information about the stranger, but a friend of hers who traded with antique weapons had told her that he had a katana that matched to Dawns descriptions. If this sword turned out to be the one from Dawns dream that would not only be prove that it really happened. The trader had also said that he could find out were the katana came from and who were the formally owner. And since Tommy Sanders, the trader had his shop in LA Dawn immediately decided to go there. Anya helped her with the organisation and promised to research in the books they had found while she was away.

In this moment Dawns thoughts were interrupted. The driver stopped and announced they had arrived their final destination. Dawn stepped out of the bus and for the first time in her real life onto the streets of LA
